Setup for managing copy pairs
184
CAUTION: You cannot use the configuration definition file created by this function to create copy
pairs using Device Manager.
•
You cannot use Device Manager to delete an invalid configuration file if the file was created by this
function. Either delete this configuration file from the host, or edit it on the host.
• An invalid configuration file or a configuration file that is not used for operating copy pairs may affect
system performance; for example, when discovering a subsystem or refreshing information. Delete either
of these configuration files from the host.
Following are the requirements for creating the configuration definition file:
• The storage subsystem and host satisfy the requirements described in sections 6-1 , 6-2 , and
6-3 .
• The Device Manager agent installed on the host.
To create a configuration definition file:
1. Stop the HBase Storage Mgmt Common Service (For instructions on how to stop the HBase
Storage Mgmt Common Service, see subsection
5-2-2 ).
2. Set the value of the client.outputhorcmfunction.enabled property in the
client.properties file to true (For details about the
client.outputhorcmfunction.enabled property, see subsection
8-7-3 ).
3. Start the HBase Storage Mgmt Common Service (For instructions on how to start the HBase
Storage Mgmt Common Service, see subsection
5-2-1 ).
4. Start the operation for creating a copy pair (For instructions on how to create a copy pair, see
the manual HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition software Device Manager
user guide).
CAUTION:
When managing pairs by each host:
The Device Manager agent must be installed on the host to be used.
When managing pairs by central management:
The Device Manager agent must be installed on the host that centrally manages the pairs.
5. Perform the operation in the same manner as when creating a copy pair to display the step
titled Summary of Changes dialog box.
NOTE: In the step titled Define Pair(s) dialog box, you do not need to specify the fence level and
copy pace. Even if you specify these items, they are not applied in the configuration definition file.
6. In the step titled Summary Of Changes dialog box, click Cancel (Output HORCM) to stop
creating a copy pair, and then start creating the configuration definition file.
7. When creation of the configuration definition file finishes, a dialog box appears notifying you of
the completion. Check the display, and then close the dialog box.
In the View Pair Information dialog box, you can view the HORCM instance number, pair group
name, and pair name of the created configuration definition file.
CAUTION: For an XP Business Copy Software copy pair and an XP Snapshot copy pair, Device
Manager server sets 0 as the MU number in the configuration definition file. (For XP Continuous
Access Software, the MU number is not set because this number is not necessary.) The Device
Manager server also sets 1 as the MU number in the configuration definition file for XP
Continuous Access Journal Software copy pairs. When you use a configuration definition file,
created by Device Manager server, to create a copy pair, make sure that you change these values
into appropriate values.
